The final pop of Lime Green in the living room

If you've been following my blog over the last few months you've seen that I've been slowly redecorating our dining room and living room by removing the dark browns and lightening it up with white and hits of fresh green.

Today I'm sharing The Final Pop of Lime Green In The Living Room and now I can declare this room complete!

To unify our living room bookcases with our dining room built-in china cabinet I gave the backs a pop of Luscious Lime chalk paint and white wax from Country Chic Paint.

I love the color and how well it pairs with white - so fresh! It has transformed these rooms from dark and lifeless to bright and cheery.

Here is picture of our dining room built-in china cabinet...

Here is what the bookcase looked like Before and After painting the backs...

Just by changing out the red for lime it made such a difference in the room!

Everything on the shelves pop now too...

Sexy Rexy, our feline child, was not happy that I was disrupting his cat nap. Normally when he sees the camera in my hands his ears perk up, he grooms himself like a model before a photo shoot and makes every attempt to steal the show!

Mr. Frugalista was getting a little worried that our house was going to look like it threw up limes. "Enough with the green already", he said. I think he was relieved when I declared the room finished!

A few years ago if someone had told me I would be incorporating lime green into our decorating scheme I would have laughed in their face. It was all about the warm tones for this chick!

As nervous and hesitant as I was when the makeover began, I'm thrilled to have stepped out of our my comfort zone!

Would you believe the living room bookcases used to be an 80's Cherry Wall Unit? We hacked it into two bookcases and a fireplace a few years ago.
